Insider's Art Guide CulturalDC DC's Hottest Source of Free, Cheap, & Monday, January 05
Cory Oberndorfer is selling out. Not that he had far to go. Opening Friday, January 9th at the Gallery at Flashpoint, Flavor of the Month is the latest in his series of roller derby and candy-inspired paintings. The work draws upon the aesthetics and iconography of popular graphic design and advertising techniques to reveal Oberndorfer’s devotion to the roller derby subculture. Oberndorfer transforms roller derby skaters into icons to convey both idolization and a sense of product identity. In a palette of bright colors, the artist draws inspiration from three of his favorite things, “sweets, pop culture and bad-ass women, although not necessarily in that order.” This combination brings a playful sense of innocence to athletes who play an aggressive, full-contact sport. Acknowledging the nostalgic return of the all-female sport, Oberndorfer utilizes visuals that remain timeless, like old-fashioned candies, or those that have been re-contextualized by a new generation, such as half-tone values, sunburst patterns seen in propaganda posters and retro color palettes. While Oberndorfer plays up the stylization of marketing clichés designed for mass production, his canvas works are by contrast meticulously hand-painted and his prints are released in small editions. The Flashpoint exhibition will include paintings and prints as well as a mural on the gallery wall, inspired by the narrow shape of the gallery. The artist’s work intentionally defies size restrictions. He admits that, “Sometimes it just needs to be bigger. An indoor billboard is hard to ignore.” for more info: Gallery at Flashpoint t: 202-315-1310 or f: gallery@flashpointdc.org or www.flashpointdc.org  2.

When he becomes more reflective, he finds the Inquisition on his trail. Konrad Wolf was an East German film director who came into intense contact with Soviet film when his family fled from Germany to Moscow in 1933. After his return, he was the President of the Academy of Arts of the German Democratic Republic for many years. This film was digitally restored in 2008 by the DEFA Foundation. Monday, November 24, 6:30 pm Mephisto West Germany, Hungary, Austria, 1981, 144 min., DVD, Director: István Szabó; Cast: Klaus Maria Brandauer, Krystyna Janda Based on Klaus Mann's novel, Mephisto details the rise of a Faustian character who figuratively sells his soul in exchange for greatness. István Szabó has been working as a director for thirty years. His focus is on the people of Europe, and how their lives are influenced by history. He gained international prestige with Mephisto. He was a guest at the Goethe-Institut Washington in Spring 2008 for the screening of his film Taking Sides.

Monday, December 15, 6:30 pm Comedian Harmonists Germany, 1997, 127 min., 35mm, Director: Joseph Vilsmaier; Screenplay: Klaus Richter, Cast: Ben Becker, Heino Ferch In 1927, 20-year-old Berlin drama student Harry Frommermann founds a German singing group modeled on the feted American a cappella form.

Ceramic artist Carlos Beltran Baldiviezo explores the ancient tradition of balancing the tension between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues in his solo artist exhibit, 'Virtue, Sin, and the Balance Within,' at The Art League Gallery, December 4, 2008 – January 5, 2009. Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, and sloth are considered the Seven Deadly Sins to spiritual growth and wellbeing. Practicing the Seven Heavenly Virtues of humility, kindness, abstinence, chastity, patience, charity, and diligence supposedly will protect ones self against the temptations of the Seven Deadly Sins. Each of the seven pairs of fourteen ceramic sculptures embodies a Sin and its corresponding Virtue. 'I've approached portraying the theme from a variety of angles.' Some pieces are whimsical and playful, others serious and stoic, some humorous, obvious, or elusive. 'Each day, we are confronted with our relationships to these sins and virtues. Do we find ourselves influenced by one more than another? Do we consciously or unconsciously seek a healthy balance, or are we dominated by one set of these highly charged emotions?' Beltran hopes that this exhibit allows viewers to engage in a thoughtful and reflective experience with each piece – giving the audience an opportunity to contemplate where they fall on the spectrum of 'Virtue, Sin, and the Balance Within.' for more info: The Art League t: 703.683.1780 or f: 703.683.5786 or barbarap@theartleague.org or http://theartleaguegallery.blogspot.com 4.

A trick is played on the soldier Alexis, and the false impression that his fiancée Louise has married another disrupts his furlough. Distraught and alone, Alexis is accused of desertion and thrown into prison. When Louise visits him there, he understands that she still loves him. To her horror, Louise realizes that Alexis faces execution. The scene is interrupted by a comic episode with a jailed drunkard. Louise throws herself at the feet of the king, who is visiting his troops, and she pleads for royal clemency. After a dramatic final scene in prison, all is resolved in the public square. Lilting melodies sung in French are interspersed with dialogues and new narrations in English penned by Nick Olcott. The performance features baritone William Sharp as Alexis and soprano Dominique Labelle as Louise, with Artistic Director Ryan Brown conducting the 31-piece, period-instrument Opera Lafayette Orchestra. The renowned baroque dance authority Catherine Turocy directs the ensemble’s stage movement, with actor John Lescault and dancer Caroline Copeland providing dramatic action.

FotoGalerie, the Goethe-Institut’s newly-defined exhibition space, brings young German photography to the Washington arts scene. This second in a series of Talents exhibitions coming from C/O Berlin, the International Forum for Visual Dialogues, presents the works of photographer Ivonne Thein. Ivonne Thein has created 14 large-format photographs of alarmingly stick-like, elegant young women in scant, silvery clothing, their faces obscured by well-tended hair, assuming near-contortionist mock-fashion poses on a floor. The artist’s digital manipulation exaggerates the effect. The photographer’s inspiration is the Pro Ana internet movement, promoting anorexia as harmless self-starvation; 32 kilograms, or 70.4 pounds, is the weight of a French model who posed for ads condemning anorexia after nearly dying from it. Opening reception and panel discussion “Changing Feminine Ideals, Pathological Illness, and the Power of Advertising”: Thursday, January 8, 6 – 8 pm Panelists: Photographer Ivonne Thein Margaret Adams, Corcoran School of Art Phil Kennicott, Washington Post cultural critic RSVP to 202-289-1200 ext. 168 or rsvp@washington.goethe.org. for more info: Goethe-Institut t: 202.289.1200 x.106 or f: 202.289.3535 or nbroadwater@washington.goethe.org or www.goethe.de/washington 16.
